He was appointed to the Board by the City of Toronto for a two-year term ending November 14, 2026.
Chris joined FST as Executive Director in August 2019 after 31 years of exemplary leadership and dedication to Toronto public service including his role as the city’s Executive Director of Social Development, Finance and Administration.
